"Ink-Wash Peony" 4‑Piece Tea Set (180ml)
Handcrafted reinforced porcelain tea set, an elegant gift featuring royal Chinese peony design.
Gift Introduction
This tea set was the official dinnerware used at the spouses' banquet during the 2018 Belt and Road Forum. Its design features a serene, dignified lake‑blue background, with ink‑wash peonies accented by golden silk‑like lines blooming across the surface. The flowers appear as if reflected upon water, evoking a profound and poetic atmosphere.
"Ink‑wash" is a classic element of Chinese culture, deeply embedded in the nation's artistic heritage and serving as an enduring source of inspiration for contemporary design. The "Ink‑wash Peony" pattern draws directly from the blue‑ground, ink‑colour peony ceramics of the imperial kilns of the Forbidden City, which provided the fundamental colour palette and decorative blueprint for this design.
